The Things All The Best People Do On Their Gap Year

The Gap Year. Or should I say the “Gap Yar”? However, you pronounce it, whatever your background, the gap year is a once in a lifetime opportunity. (Unless you become a tenured professor – in which case you can have as many sabbaticals as you like.)

It’s a year in which you have to opportunity to do practically anything you want. So what are all the best people doing on their gap year? And can you do it too?

Do The Mongol Rally

As far as epic charity events go, this is one of the most exciting. The idea is to drive from London to Mongolia by car. Oh, and it’s a race.

The course is about 10,000 miles long. But there isn’t a set course. You have to choose which countries you want to go through and what route you want to take. Will you go south through Turkey and on through Iran? Or will you risk going through Eastern Europe and Russia?

It’s a rally in a sense, but the vehicles aren’t usually fit for the job. Usually, they choose an old second-hand car which is falling apart at the seams. It’s all part of the fun, apparently.
